CAMPUS IN WINTER 




^n'ttxxj^ntt (!litll^5^ 



LaAvrence College is idea% located on a bluff rising one 
hundred feet above the Fox River, the IMerrimae of Wisconsin, 
in Appleton, a city of 18,000 population, noted for its natural 
beauty, its tine homes, the refinement and culture of its citi- 
zens, and its exceptionally literary and educational advant- 
ages. The campus, consisting of ten acres, is covered with elm 
and oak and maple, threaded A^-ith cement Avalks, and decorat- 
ed Avith shrubbery and flowers. It is conveniently near to 
the business section of the city, and yet it is sufficiently re- 
tired to secure the quiet desirable for study. The college 
buildings are located on the broAv of the bluff and overlook 
the river, Avhich is one of the most majestic streams in the 
state. 

Not only is Appleton a beautiful city but it is the resi- 
dence of a cultivated people. Probably more high grade lec- 
tures, concerts, and other musical and literary entej-tainments 
are given in Appleton than in any city in the state except 
Madison and Milwaukee. 




COLLEGE HALL 



^ihixt-x^ 



LaAvrence is one of the oldest colleges in the Northwest, having been 
founded in 1847 by Amos A. Lawrence of Boston, Mass. It was established 
"to lift the standards of education, elevate the tone of morals, and provide 
opportunities for advanced education in a section of our country that stands 
much in need of it. ' ' Its founder provided that its work should be developed 
on a basis sufficiently broad "to develop the scholar." From the first it had 
a good attendance of students and during the sixty years since it opened 
for instruction has had many thousands of young people study within its 
walls. Generous friends have come forward to increase its endowment, build- 
ing after building has been erected, attendance has increased until now it is 
second to no institution of college rank in Wisconsin, either in number of 
students, size of faculty,, courses of study offered, or facilities for a thorough 
education extended. 




STEPHENSON HALL OP SCIENCE 



(!lJj:e ^mlitmgs 



Lawrence has an excellent equipment of buildings for an institution 
whieli does only undergraduate work. Most of them have been built in re- 
cent years and are thoroughly up-to-date. They are as follows : 

1. College Hall, used for recitation purposes. 

2. Stephenson Hall of Science, containing laboratories and museum. 

3. The Alexander Gymnasium, thoroughly equipped with apparatus, 
baths, etc. 

4. The Library, a new building and one of the finest college libraries 
in the country. 

5. The Observatory, containing a large and small telescope, and other 
equipment. 

6. Ormsby Hall, a beautiful dormitory for women. 

7. Ormsby Annex, a dormitory for women. 

8. Lawrence House, a dormito^^y for women. 

9. The President's House, a home for the president of the college. 

10. Peabody Eecital Hall. A fine building devoted to the use of the 
School of Music. Also a building for practice purposes. 

11. Central Heating Plant. 

12. "Blue and "White" Club House, a cottage dormitory and boarding 
club for men. 

It is expected that a Men's Dormitory will be erected in the near future, 
as a canvass is now being made for this purpose. 




THE LIBRARY 



^i^ttini ^it^xntttvcj^ts 



Standards of admission are equal to those of the best coilep^es and uni- 
versities. 

The faculty is especially strong in scholarship and teaching skill. 

The libraries, laboratories and general equipment are superior to most 
institutions of college grade. 

Teaching is by full professors, not tutors, fellows and inexperienced 
instructors. 

Students have the privilege of personal and intimate acquaintance with 
members of the faculty. 

All organizations usually found in college life are represented. 

No college in the state presents more elective courses. Courses are so ar- 
ranged as to prepare especially for professional work. 

Deserving students are helped by scholarships and loans. 

Students have many opportunities for self-support. 

Expenses are very moderate, about half what they are at a large univer- 
sity. 

Graduates desiring to teach are given a life certificate by the state. 

The social life at La-wrence is most enjoyable. 

Lecture courses, musical entertainments, etc., are the best that can be 
secured. 

The reputation of the college is exceptionally good.

LIBRARY INTERIOR 



^tfmtmtnt^ xtt Insttntiixtn 

1. The College of Liberal Arts.— The group system is in force and stu- 
dents are placed under the guidance of a class officer. One hundred and sixty- 
courses are maintained. 

2. School of Music. — Four-year courses in vocal and instrumental music 
are maintained. Those who complete the musical courses are given a cer- 
tificate, and those who take the degree course are graduated with degree of 
Bachelor of Music. This department is especially strong. 

3. School of Expression.— A department of Expression has recently been 
established with full courses for those who desire to prepare themselves in 
elocution and oratory. 

4. School of Art.— A department for the study of Art has been estab- 
lished. Teachers are prepared to teach drawing in the public schools. Classes 
in water color, oil, etc., are formed. 




ORMSBY HALL 



(!Iixll:e5^ ^ii^ 



The college life at Lawrence is most pleasant, the number of students 
not being too large for mutual acquaintance, and at the same time sufficiently 
numerous for college enthusiasm and the maintenance of the various organ- 
izations usually found in a high grade institution of higher learning. 

1. The literary societies numbering four have beautiful halls and do 
strong literary work. 

2. There are four sororities and four fraternities which are under the 
supervision of the faculty. 

3. The glee clubs, choral union and the orchestra are flourishing musi- 
cal organizations. The college also has usually an excellent brass band. 

4. Language and Science clubs have been organized to help students 
who are specializing in these lines. Thus there is a Chemical club, a German 
club and a French club. 

5. The religious organizations are numerous. Besides the Y M. C. A. 
and the Y. W. C. A. there are missionary organizations, Bible study classes, 
and organizations for Christian work. 

6. Athletic organizations also exist. 

7. There is a Debating and Oratorical League. 

8. In short, all the organizations usually found in a high grade college 
are represented here.

The question of expense is usually a matter of great importance to one 
choosing a college. Lawrence has an excellent equipment and does its work 
in a manner which has won for it a most enviable reputation, yet its charges 
are lower than those of almost any college in the country of its class. Every 
effort has been made to keep its expenses at the lowest figure possible. It is 
safe to say that a student can take a course at Lawrence on less than half 
what it will cost him at a large university and as cheaply as at any other in- 
stitution of like grade in the middle west. 

There are various helps for needy students in the way of scholarships and 
loan funds. There are also excellent chances to secure employment. A large 
per cent of the young men are earning their own way. An Employment Bu- 
reau is maintained to assist needy students in finding places to work. Many 
club together and reduce their expenses thereby. It is no longer necessary for 
a poor boy to go without a college education, for any person of ^nergy can 
now put himself through school. 










ALEXANDER GYJIXASIUM

It is generally conceded that for undergraduate work the ideal college is 
one of moderate size. A small college lacks the enthusiasm which comes from 
a goodly company of students and usually does not have the organization and 
variety of courses or the equipment of a larger school. On the other hand, a 
large university usually lays the emphasis on graduate, professional and tech- 
nical training and turns the undergraduate over to tutors and instructors, 
usually young men without experience, who Avork on very small salaries and 
are not equal to professors of a strong college. Acquaintance with teachers is 
not common. Close supervision of the student's work is not usual and ideals 
of life are not high. But little opportunity is given for participation in the 
responsibility of student organizations. Living expenses are always higher. 
A college of the size of Lawrence is the happy medium. It is the largest col- 
lege in the state but not too large for personal attention being given students 
It has neither the disadvantages of the small college, nor the great uni- 
versity, but represents the advantage- of both. The moderate si-^ed college 
is best. 



^K\xf^xjentt: ^ihlttit^ 



Lawrence Athletics have always been a healthful feature of the college 
life, and provide no small part of the entertainment furnished students. 
There is a general athletic association under Avhich all branches of athletics 
are organized. Besides the regular gymnasium classes under efficient teachers 
for both men and women, there are the teams for participation in the various 
sports. The gymnasium, which is an excellent and well equipped building, is 
open at all times for the use of students. 

In foot ball Lawrence has a record that no other college in Wisconsin 
has and few colleges anywhere. For six years in succession it won the state 
college championship, and has only been defeated four times by a college team 
in seven years. Games are also played Avith the large universities, the univer- 
sities of Chicago, Wisconsin and Minnesota among them. 

Basket ball is much played at Lawrence. The college has played the best 
teams in the middle west and won raore than tAvo-thirds of the games played. 

The track team is also always a strong aggregation. 




I'EAHODY KI<X'ITAL IIAI.L 



The Conservatory of Music is a very strong department and has an equip- 
ment not equaled by any similar school in the state. A new build- 
ing, named after the doner — Peabody Recital Hall— has just been 
erected which contains a beautiful recital hall and nine studios. Besides 
this building the department has a large building used for practice work. 
Dean William Harper is one of the foremost musicians of the day and has 
gathered a very strong faculty. Instruction is given in all kinds of music. 
There are three terms each year. Students are prepared for concert work, 
for teaching music, and for teaching in public schools. Any one wishing to 
knoAv more of the Conservatory should address the Dean, William Harper.

CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 



Courses of Study at Lawrence are arranged in general culture and in pre- 
professional groups. The former are intended to give a thorousih general 
training, while the latter are so arranged as to give a broad fomidation for 
the study of such professions as law, medicine, journalism, engineering, etc. 
It is noAV generally conceded that it is very unwise for a young man to pass 
at once from the high school to the prosessional or technical school. ^Ir. Hor- 
well truly says: "Specialization which is not based upon a liberal culture at- 
tempts to put an edge on pot iron." 

Students who take the pre-professional courses at LaAvrence receive a 
general training which Avill make them broader and more efficient men and at 
the same time receive a special preparation for the study of a particular call- 
ing. They can also usually shorten their professional course by at least one 
year. Thus those who take our pre-engineering course can complete the en- 
gineering work in a technical school in two years, or two years and a summer 
term. Likewise those who take the pre-theological course, can get a degree 
in theology in two years in the best theological seminaries. The same holds 
true of various other professions.

Educators believe in Lawrence. President Merrifield of the University of 
North Dakota in an educational address recently delivered in Chicago men- 
tioned eight colleges in the middle west which he regarded as the best, and to 
be compared with Amherst, Williams, and Dartmouth in the East. Among 
these he mentioned Lawrence. 

"Lawrence has always done an exceptionally high grade of work and 
turned out a fine product of able and cultured men and women." — Bishop W. 
F. Mallalieu, LL. D. 

"I have noted with pleasure the excellent work of Lawrence University. 
It is one of the best colleges in the country. "—Bishop C. C. McCabe, LL. D. 

"Lawrence University has sent many of its graduates to our professional 
schools, and as cultured men, they are not, on the average, excelled by the 
graduates of any of our best colleges. "—Ex-Pres. W. F. Warren, LL. D., Bos- 
ton University. 

"I have known of Lawrence University, of Appleton, Wis., for more than 
thirty years. I have met many of its graduates and am familiar with its rep- 
utation as an institution of learning. I say without hesitation that its reputa- 
tion is first class. "—Charles V. Bardeen, late Justice Supreme Court. 

"The institution has always done splendid work; it is ideally located and 
is well equipped in many lines."— Eobert J. Gamble, U. S. Senator. 

"They have the second school in the state. It may not be generally 
known, although it is a fact, that Lawrence is a larger school than the state 
university was twenty years ago." — Milwaukee Free Press.
